Erika was thinking that it sounds like we were having to much fun. She is again thinking of learning to be a passenger/back seat driver once her foot is better. Caddott would be my record one day ride. I'm already starting to try to figure out the logistics of that trip. Maybe I'll turn her into a biker babe yet.

Inexpensive whine/chirp fix

But just bolting on 1st gen parts still will not make a 2nd gen faster......... -
I forgot to bring my camera. Bet I could have found a 1st gen or two there also.

I guess I never thought of that option. With all of the people that have removed the tongue from a HF trailer to replace it with a longer 2" sq, there should be a bunch of loose tongues around....... Let me know what you have. It will be a while before HF has them back in stock. HA, shipping will be more than the new part is worth.

Bob I had a great time. Thank you for hosting this event. Good food, good friends, lots of laughs, and oh ya, we got some work done to. . . . . . . But you should not be sneaking in pics of me, you'll break your camera....... I even got to tryout the new horn, IT WORKED. Moved that cage right back into her own lane. The rain even held off till 15 minutes after I got home. Good luck tomorrow.

No problem, I remembered that from back when I was a moderator and administrator of a forum.

Well this weekend I got to use to new hitch to pull my fully loaded trailer up to the WI MD. The hitch worked flawlessly. The trailer, well that is a different story and in a different thread. I also found out that the rear tire can be removed with the hitch installed. It was tight but it did come out.

Well I finally got a chance to pull the trailer fully loaded on a short trip to the WI MD. The trailer pulled just fine up to 60 mph and then from 60 to 70 had just a hint of fishtailing. I had plenty of tongue weight, I did not weigh it but it was around 50 lbs. I have come to the conclusion that I need to extend the tongue. I checked with harfor freight and I can buy a new tongue for less than I can buy apeice of square tube to make a new tongue. So I am going to get the HF tongue, and use a piece of it to make the extension. This way all of my accessories that mount to the tongue will still fit correctly. The only drawback is that the tongue is back-ordered till 7-15-11.

Well I sure hope the weather is better tomorrow morning. Even though it does not show on radar, there is heavy fog and rain right now. I chickened out. I never did like rain and I have never pulled a trailer. Add in some fog and it overwhelmed my sense of safety. I am hoping for better weather in the morning. Ok so call me a fair weather rider..........

It is very likely that the semi driver never had a clue that the bike went down since he didn't even know that the bike was there in the first place. I was run off the road by a semi once (along with 3 other cars) and since a number of other cars stopped to render assistance there was one other driver that took off after the semi, but his van could only hit 80 and the semi was still pulling away from him. Fortunately there was a nice soft runoff area right there so no one was hurt and very minimal damage.

I have come to the conclusion that way to many people are simply not looking at all. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=59747

Trailer and bike are loaded for the trip. Just need to stop for gas. It looks like there will be a window in the rain for me to sneak up there on Friday night after work. I should be hitting the road around 6-6:30. With all of the construction going on it is a bear escaping Milwaukee on a Friday. It will take at least an hour to hour and a half to break free. Then another 1+ hours to get there. The only kink still in this plan is if I do not like the way the loaded trailer is handling. If it is still wagging with the load and better tongue weight, I'll shift to plan 2 and come up Saturday morning without the trailer.

A bad stator can take out the R/R and a bad R/R can take out a stator.

Out of curiosity, have you changed any of the lighting to HID or LED. This could cause your symptoms also. But there are fixes.
-
See, I told you your hammer was not big enough to fix that.

I told you it could happen quick, You just barely missed, missing MD. Then Jeff would have to entertain Jeff while helping Jeff while Jeff did.........

I don't need much light for setting up camp. I do some of my best work in the dark..... Once I set up my queen size bed in there it won't sleep 8 no mo.

WHY?
-
Nice pics. Sure glad there were no more pics of the pond monsters...... Scary critters they are.....
-
Not at all. Just that that is an awfully small tool that you have there. Mines bigger.

I should know by the end of tonight if I will be heading up on Fri night or Sat morning. Since I am coming from Cudahy, you are kind of on the way. If I do not go up on Friday, maybe I can stop by you Fri night to help brea..... I mean fix things.
-
Depending on if I get everything done and loaded tonight, I would like to leave here right after work, about 5:30, on Friday night. That will get me there while it is still light out. If things do not work out then I will be heading up there early Saturday morning. Either way I have to be home Saturday night. If I go up on Sat I do not need to bring the trailer, If I go up Fri then I need the trailer for the tent, bed, camping stuff, clothes and misc stuff. I have a huge tent that sleeps 8. What part of Milwaukee are you?

From the angle of the pic, I would think she was a passenger in a car.
